Forces de police de Californie

Composées des Police Department, chargés des villes, et des Sheriff Department/Office, à qui sont confiés les comtés, les forces de police de Californie sont nombreuses, afin de protéger la population de l'État le plus peuplé du pays. Elles sont complétées dans leur action par la police d'État de Californie.

Les moyens humains et matériels de ces forces varient selon la taille de la ville ou du comté à surveiller, mais les forces de l'ordre ont fréquemment des hélicoptères à leur disposition, ainsi que des navires légers et rapides, dans les régions où les cours d'eau sont importants. Dans leur action, les forces de police sont appuyées par 35 hélicoptères et celles des sheriffs par 77 hélicoptères, en raison de la taille des comtés.

Les principales missions des forces de l'ordre concernent la lutte anti-drogue (proximité du Mexique oblige), la lutte contre le trafic d'armes, d'êtres humains, la lutte contre la prostitution ou encore la lutte contre les nombreux gangs des grandes agglomérations.

Si une intervention aboutit à une arrestation, le suspect est alors confié au California Department of Corrections. A certaines occasions, les policiers collaborent avec les pompiers de Californie, lors d'accident par exemple. Comme dans beaucoup de villes américaines, les policiers sont souvent engagés dans des œuvres caritatives ou sociales.
